This study uses deep genome skimming data to analyze whole-genome duplication events in polyploid Prunus species, revealing allopolyploidization as a dominant evolutionary mechanism.

This study identifies and analyzes Pax7 in lamprey, showing its potential ancestral role and functional similarities to higher vertebrates in metabolic and developmental processes.

This study identifies incomplete lineage sorting and hybridization as primary evolutionary mechanisms in pear species, using a novel SSE approach to analyze phylogenetic incongruence.

The paper constructs a robust phylogenetic backbone for the Campanuleae tribe using genomic data and phylogenetic methods, revealing hybridization and allopolyploidy as key drivers of diversification.

This study uses phylogenomic analyses with extensive taxon sampling to propose a new infrageneric classification of Pourthiaea, finding cytonuclear discordance and hybridization as key factors.
